How to Remove Stains on Frosted Glass

Frosted glass has small pits or etch marks that can hold onto dirt and grime, but thankfully cleaning the glass is very easy! You just need to figure out whether to use a cleaner that is either acid or base on the pH scale.

Bleach and ammonia-based products are bases. Most glass cleaners, such as Windex, fall into this category. They work well on removing grease and dirt.

Acid-based cleaners include vinegar and citrus products, as well as mineral deposit cleaners such as CLR, Lime Away and Bark. For those hard water stains in the bathroom or kitchen, you’ll want to use acids to remove stains from frosted glass.

Frosted Glass Stain Removal Methods

You can clean frosted glass and get rid of even the most stubborn stains using products that you probably already own. Try one method in a small spot and if the stain doesn’t go away, switch to a different method. One of these methods will surely get your frosted glass clean, stain-free and streak-free.

Note: we recommend using rubber gloves for the task, to protect your skin and also to avoid leaving fingerprints. For scrubbing, you can use newspapers, kitchen sponges or microfiber cloths. Paper towels and dish cloths tend to leave lint behind.

Preventing Stains on Frosted Glass

Fortunately, maintaining your glass does not require a rigorous daily routine. If you have hard water problems you can get the best results from frosted shower doors by using a squeegee to prevent minerals from sticking. Some people also like to use rain repellent products (like you might use on card windshields) to help the water bead off.

Removing and preventing stains on frosted glass really just requires a gentle scrub now and then using whichever acid or base cleaner that works best for you. With just an occasional cleaning your frosted glass can look fresh and clean day in and day out.
